Artist's description:

'四' This painting is the fourth in a set of miniature landscapes the artist has called Japanese Hill Set. It is reflective of the scenery the artist experienced while walking in the Kii Peninsula & The Kitaazumi District, Nagano Prefecture over a winter/spring.

It was created using Japanese watercolor paints to give a backdrop of forested mountains, with a hill of trees in the foreground.Defined tree details were achieved by scratching out the top layers of color to reveal white in select areas.

The painting has a coating of clear epoxy resin, giving it a high gloss finish. A surface the artist has intended for his works for many years, this is the first collection to receive the treatment. The resin changes the way light is distributed onto the painting giving even tones while allowing the colors to 'pop'.

The color tones are a blend of heather purple throughout. In the foreground hill area, there are forest tones with hints of blues, browns, purples.The backdrop hillside is a heather purple. Autumn or winter perhaps of season.

Tree branch details run across the picture on the treeline scratched out in white with delicate sharp detail.

The frame wood is wood painted white ready to hang.The artist has signed the picture on the reverse so as not to disturb the scene.
